During the occupation, the militants illegally dug a new road using a government-owned excavator, expanded a parking lot, dug trenches, destroyed part of a USFWS-owned fence, and removed security cameras.[106][202] Some of the refuge's pipes broke, after which the militants, officials said, defecated "everywhere."[200] Investigators found "significant amounts of human feces" at "two large trenches and an improvised road on or adjacent to grounds containing sensitive artifacts" of the Burns Paiute Tribe.[203] A USFWS spokesperson said that the damage risked "the destruction and desecration of culturally significant Native American sites" and called it "disgusting, ghoulish behavior."[106] The Burns Paiute Tribe condemned the damage;[204] tribal council member Jarvis Kennedy described it as if "someone went to Arlington National Cemetery and went to the bathroom on the graves and rode a bulldozer over them."[205] Two of the militants, Sean Larry Anderson and Jake Edward Ryan, were subsequently indicted for "depredation of government property," an offense that carries a potential ten-year jail sentence.[182][206]
It sounds like you are confusing two separate incidents. They used a bulldozer to expand the parking lot and to dig trenches; and they defecated in a ditch and along a road that goes through the burial site (after the plumbing broke). It does not say that they used the bulldozer to make the road through the site, but that there was a road there.
Does it matter though? The countries you mentioned already implemented the background check system that the 7 did not implement. Do you expect that it has any bearing either? There are many muslim countries he has no business dealing with that were not in the ban, it is a conspiracy!
I can't say much about the rest of these, but did you actually listen to what he said, or the sound bite version? He said that there were many criminals and rapists coming into the country illegally, and that many of the people who were coming in were being assaulted by same. This is verifiable fact that was published by a Univision owned magazine, that Trump was taking the information from. He didn't say that they were all criminals and rapists, he said that there were many there though. So, you start off with the fake news version, and continue from there. This makes me not want to believe the others, that I am not even clear what you are speaking of.
But, that is not what the protesters were saying. They were calling for his speech to be banned by the government (Berkeley is the government, being a public university), for being insensitive. This is wrong, it isn't speaking against his speech, but trying to prevent him from saying it. Do you see the difference?
I find that comparison interesting. Can you please point to the people who were injured in the Bundy incident? Can you point to the property destroyed/damaged in the Bundy incident?
There are civilized responses that can be made instead of resorting to barbarism, you could start by using your own free speech to point out the intellectual errors in the other person's speech, and explain why the thought processes involved are somehow wrong.
Exaggerate much? No, we will not be reduced to hunter gatherer societies. The impact of climate change is nowhere near that bad, and pretending it is makes you look like you are the one that is anti science.
I see nothing to indicate that the idiot above is a Trump supporter. Calling everyone with a contrary position to yours a Trump supporter is a great way to paint your opposition as all the same though.
Perhaps you should point out specific policies you don't like, and why you don't like them. So far all I have seen in opposition is people who didn't even bother to read his EOs. Even the courts haven't actually ruled on the legality of the EO to fix the immigration from the 7 countries who failed to upgrade their systems.
If you are talking about the GOP, I have seen 0 platform positions to indicate they have an issue with LEGAL immigration. No one, not even progressive Europe is for opening the borders and letting in all who come. Why do you think that porous borders are a good thing? All the GOP is trying to do is secure the borders, not reduce the 2 million legal immigrants we have now. The H1B position could possibly be looked at this way, but Trump's current direction with this is not to reduce the number of H1B workers, but remove the slave labor portions of the H1B program by forcing H1B wages up where they should be since these are supposed to be people so skilled that no US citizen can do the job.

I was not able to find any MSM citations for what you talked about, so I looked at Wikipedia:

Do you have a citation for this bulldozing event? I never heard anything about this.
Don't forget all the camels in the ban too, we have to protest for the camel's right to cross borders as they see fit.
The USA isn't one yet
Despite all of Obama's efforts towards that goal...
Does it matter though? The countries you mentioned already implemented the background check system that the 7 did not implement. Do you expect that it has any bearing either? There are many muslim countries he has no business dealing with that were not in the ban, it is a conspiracy!
I'm still waiting for him to announce that he is Iron Man...
Just never greet your friend Jack in an airport, that can lead to uncomfortable questions.
I live very near Baltimore, and I can't honestly say I saw much of a difference during the riots.
I suppose you could say that no outside power was bombing the shit out of Baltimore...but that isn't much.
"Criminals and rapists"

So, you are trying to equate being male to being violent? Isn't that kind of sexist?

When you demonize a whole group of people as "know nothings" I have to say that it is very likely you are the ignorant one.
So, why has the EU never gone after the movie industry? How is this in any way different than their geolocking and price adjustments to markets?
How is it racist? Are you saying it is anti-white to buy canned food?
https://www.fema.gov/blog/2011...
The government suggests you stock up some on food, it is good preparedness for any possible disaster to have about a week of food on hand.
They think that if you stop the oil pipeline, suddenly the world will no longer need oil. It is a really short sighted image of the world.
What tablet? Do you have a picture?
All of the B&N tablets I have ever seen had micro-USB, so there is no odd ball sized barrel connector possible as they are standard connectors.
If you aren't skeptical, you are not a scientist. This is the basis of science, not everyone agreeing on everything.
Exaggerate much? No, we will not be reduced to hunter gatherer societies. The impact of climate change is nowhere near that bad, and pretending it is makes you look like you are the one that is anti science.
That almost leads into a "your momma so fat" joke...
I like my Nexus 5x... If you had said Pixel though, that would make sense in context.
